I use Telegram. The company is based outside the EU/US, so its unlikely that it would give any data to my government.

Hey in another comment you mentioned being from Germany, so I think this might be relevant to you

Erstmals hat das Bundesinnenministerium (BMI) bestätigt, dass der Messengerdienst Telegram Nutzerdaten an deutsche Ermittlungsbehörden übermittelt hat

Of cource Bundesinnenministerium aka the police is not really the most trustworthy source, but I just wanted to mention that in case you and others did not know about that.

What a shame. Luckily the numbers are very small, I hope it doesn't increase in the future.
